Six degrees of freedom (wikipedia)

Tenebrous Pau has had success using the SpaceNavigator in conjunction with a community-provided driver (which makes the SpaceNavigator appear to Windows like a Game Controller).

• The RBC9 driver, a community-provided joystick driver for SpaceNavigator (March 07). Note: The RBC9 driver is not needed to make the SpaceNavigator work with SL; just use the latest 3DConnexion driver.
